There’s nothing stuffy at all about Robert Downey Jr.’s take on Sherlock Holmes, and the wise-cracking investigator is more apt to show up in a ladies’ wig than the detective’s signature deerstalker cap. So, yes, it would be nice if your friend greeted you with a firm handshake rather than a blowgun while testing out his latest invention, “urban camoflauge,” or refrained from using your dog as a guinea pig for his experiments. But those same eccentricities that make your friend a little off are also what make him interesting. That doesn’t mean you need to take him up on his formaldehyde wedding toast, though.
